Parution Italie – GAZETTA DELLO SPORT – Ladakh: Hockey on the top of the world by Patrice Halley
Voyage dans l’Amérique en crise.
A la veille de l’élection présidentielle américaine, ce reportage, mené conjointement par un photographe Français et une journaliste Américaine sous la forme d’un road-trip à travers les USA (16 états, de New York à la Nouvelle Orléans) dresse le portrait d’une Amérique plus fragile qu’elle n’y parait, où la fracture sociale est de plus en plus profonde et qui va devoir changer son mode de vie pour s’adapter au nouvel ordre mondial.
Ce reportage a par ailleurs été l’occasion de rencontrer des Américains de toutes conditions et de toutes origines dont 42 interviews et portraits sont disponibles.

Pyongyang : a flawless scenography ?
Massive buildings, spacious, spotlessavenues, little traffic, colorful posters,an unassuming but busy population,controlled silence, hardly disturbed bythe distant voices of kids rehearsing achoreography… The driver switched offthe engine to gather speed on a shortdownhill; eyes screwed to the window,one doesn’t notice this sort of detail, asattention is focused on the unfoldingsoulless landscape…The capital city of this « rogue state »doesn’t intrude upon the visitor’ssensibilities…

The International Butler Academy.
What is BUTLER Service? « SIR, Butler service is technical skills plus energy, passion, commitment, SIR! »
No, this is not the yelling ofshaved-head Marines but the rallying cry of the International Butler Academy summer class, located at the Castle of Zeist, seven miles east of Utrecht (Netherlands). 9 am: ten students of various nationalities (English, American,French Dutch, German, Italian) line up for the first morning review and clear their throat yelling the Butler’s motto.The troup will have to show impeccably dressed (each trainee has to wear a made to measure hand-made suit with frock coat) for the inspection during which the head-butler will even check the cleanliness of their hands. But that is only the start of a long and demanding day of learning.
